Lee,

That is it. Bingo! I wouldn't have discovered this for a while without your
help. Thank you so much. I can stop hitting my head against the rack of
proliants now! LOL


Thanks everyone for all the help!

Hi David,

 Try adding 'netwait=5' to your kernel parms.  The Broadcomm nics
sometimes need a little time to settle down before assigning the IP.
It's only an issue with static IPs, DHCP always worked.  Beat my head
against this on a stack of Proliants for quite some time.
